Building and Running the Beat

edit

To compile the Beat, make sure you are in the Beat directory ($GOPATH/src/github.com/{user}/countbeat) and run:

mage build

we don’t support the -j option for make at the moment.

Running this command creates the binary called countbeat in $GOPATH/src/github.com/{user}/countbeat.

Now run the Beat:

./countbeat -e -d "*"

The command automatically loads the default config file, countbeat.yml, and sends debug output to the console.

You can stop the Beat by pressing Ctrl+C.
